About the project

The project will provide opportunities for HEI-based teacher educators from UArctic, The Nordic Educational Research Association (NERA) and the digital, open access peer review journal Education in the North (EitN) to explore Arctic Pedagogy within teacher education across various cultures, communities, and curricula.

Through an in-person, three-day symposium we will debate how the principles of Arctic Pedagogy can support teacher education provision across Scotland. Symposium findings and reports will be published in EitN on how the principles of Arctic Pedagogy can support and develop teacher education pedagogy for all learners in Scottish schools.

The project is funded by Arctic Connections Fund is to help Scottish organisations and communities collaborate with partner in the Arctic. See more on the Arctic Connections Fund website.
